this one wasn’t really that bad, yes they shortened the life span of the bulbs, but incandescent bulbs were a solved problem at that time, and longer lasting bulbs meant that they must produce less light. that bulb that’s lasted a 100 years or whatever, is very very dim, and that’s why it’s still going. also, dimmer (longer lasting) bulbs are less efficient for the amount of light you get, and some of the lightbulb manufacturers were also power companies, which were struggling with energy and so had reason to want more efficient lightbulbs. here’s a great video on the topic https://youtube.com/watch?v=zb7Bs98KmnY
